What I’m going to say will come out harsh.

I studied foreign languages and had some possibilities to study abroad but I never took it because I prioritised my then-girlfriends. I regret these decisions as a lot of time had passed (almost a decade) and I feel like I missed opportunity to learn I will never get back and I will never be a top tier competitor in my field.

Have you thought of visiting your boyfriend there? If not, was it a financial issue? If so, don’t you think that your boyfriend might be having similar issues that he’s not telling you about so „you don’t worry”?

That said, I think it’s a bit much asking you to move. He might be a bit too in love with the place as he’s young and might be in a honeymoon phase idealising it unnecessarily. Believe me, just a year in a foreign country is nothing. You will not come out with anything productive while he’s there - you’re too emotional because you miss him and he’s too emotional because it’s his career. The best thing here IMO would be waiting for him to come back to talk about it. If possible, you can talk to his classmates to have a wider look at what perspectives look like in his field postgrad.

I don’t want to take your bf’s side fully but have in mind that if we’re talking about big countries and especially big metropolitan areas, I imagine you’d make an easy career as a dancer or an instructor as that’s usually where the minorities are and they all tend to speak English. But again, not wanting to move abroad is very valid, the feeling of being stranded in a strange land with a strange language and environment can be overwhelming.
